This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.

A Murder at the End of the World—written by show creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij as well as  Rebecca Roanhorse and Melanie Marnich—is a limited series about a young hacker who, as the newly released trailer reveals, finds herself in a frozen, remote (but also luxurious?) compound where murder is afoot. 

Who doesn’t love a murder mystery set in the frozen tundra?! Here’s the show’s official synopsis:

A Murder at the End of the World is a mystery series with a new kind of detective at the helm—a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker named “Darby Hart” (Emma Corrin). Darby and eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must use all of her skills to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life.

In addition to Corrin and Owen, A Murder at the End of the World stars  Harris Dickinson, Brit Marling, Alice Braga, Joan Chen, Raúl Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, Ryan J. Haddad, Pegah Ferydoni, Javed Khan, Louis Cancelmi, Edoardo Ballerini, Britian Seibert, Christopher Gurr, Kellan Tetlow, Daniel Olson and Neal Huff. Show creators Marling and Batmanglij also directed the series.

The seven-episode limited series premieres on FX on Hulu on November 14, 2023.
